Black Ops 4 Update 1.16 Patch Notes (March 26) – BO4

Treyarch has released a new Black Ops 4 update on PS4 and Xbox One – as always, PC will follow suit slightly later. While prior to its release Treyarch unveiled a host of details on their official livestream, it appears as though we have a good idea as to what’ll be included within the CoD BO4 update 1.16 patch notes.

The majority of changes in Multiplayer have a huge impact on weapons. A host of nerfs and buffs have been introduced to the game.

SMGs now more effective when against assault rifles and tactical rifles.

Pistols have also been buffed. The weapon’s exact changes are currently unknown.
